Chicken Cordon Bleu

Recipe Ingredients

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

6 tablespoons butter

6 whole chicken breasts, skinned and boned

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/2 cup dry white wine

1 cup whipping cream

1 teaspoon paprika

1 (8 ounce) package Swiss cheese slices

1 (8 ounce) package sliced cooked ham

1 cube chicken bouillon

Method

Spread chicken breasts flat; fold cheese and ham slices to fit on top of breast; fold breasts over filling and fasten edges together with toothpicks being careful to seal well so filling will not leak out.

On wax paper, mix flour and paprika; use mixture to coat chicken pieces.

In 12-inch skillet over medium heat, in hot butter, cook chicken until browned on all sides.

Add wine and bouillon cube. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 30 minutes or until fork tender; remove toothpicks.

In cup, blend cornstarch and cream until smooth; gradually stir into skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened; serve over chicken.
